The 2011 Toy Run was a pleasure to participate in and a worthwhile event. Many thanks to all the law enforcement officers who devoted their time and talents to making this possible.

Once again, everyone has to be inconvenienced because a small portion of the community rides motorcycles. Why not just have a big parade through a park or somewhere? I appreciate that they’re bringing toys to needy kids, but this is just senseless.

$50 million a year to collect all state taxes. Why not have the IRS add 10 percent to our federal income taxes and just send Kansas a check? Kansas could do away with state income tax, property tax, sales tax and all other state taxes. The state would be fully funded, and Kansans would save $50 million a year.

I’m sick of people getting mad at aircraft workers. This is the Air Capital of the World. Of course we have jobs in the aircraft business. I happen

As College Hill residents, we had more than 3,000 trick-or-treaters this year. It is worth spending the extra money on candy to make that many children smile. Stop complaining about giving a piece of candy to a kid just because he or she may not live in

You know there is a problem with Hispanic integration when the kids can’t even say “trick or treat” in English.

I felt the earth move under my feet. Now we will see if the sky comes a tumbling down. It shook my nerves and it rattled my brain. I thought someone was a knockin’ at the door instead of a ringin’ my bell. Thanks for your patience.

I heard the scientific explanation for Saturday’s earthquake: The quake was caused by all of the K-State fans falling off the bandwagon after the loss to Oklahoma State.
